... darn thistle though (I'll let it grow a little more & collect it for tea) ... it always bites me no matter how far away from it I get I always seem to back into it.
I planted one raspberry cane last Fall and two raspberry canes today
(thank you Lyn)! ... there's a hole waiting for the soaking Tayberry.
Thought the daffodil needed a drink too (after I knocked it sideways
with a tomato stake so I had to pick it & bring it home for my table :)
I told Mom about my Tayberry planting. She mentioned that her grandfather
had planted it on their farm - the farm that had burned to the ground - the one
where everything was lost - no nobody died but it was one of the family's defining
moments ... they called them black raspberries and her Dad used to always try to
get to the berries before any of the kids could (oftentimes they beat him to it -
but sometimes to their utter dismay they would happily arrive and find it bare)!
Marilyn from Lot 60 passed by my gate on her way home after toiling away for
the whole day in her beautifully manicured garden and asked if I'd like all of the
rest of her tiny pea seedlings. I've had such poor luck with peas so I was thrilled!
Thank you Marilyn - here they are all tucked safely into their new pea bed. But I
was lazy and naive and foolish - believing it would rain at midnight like predicted.
It's morning and I've just gotten up and looked out the window - no rain - I turned
the television on and now I am foolishly expecting rain again - it's due any moment
now ... Burlington's been hit already and blah blah blah (lesson learned) ... ?
Catch of the Day
Ahhh - now I will rest (or not) ... the umbrella looks like a rabbit - BLAaaahhHHhhH!
Well here's a little more entertainment ... not that you are
amused by the same things I'm amused by but ... here goes
... it's the biggest bee I've ever seen in my life ... & it almost
flew right into my camera lens while I was filming it's debut!
... not to mention that I then thought it was going to fly right
up the leg of my pants so I got shaky and hit the stop button.
